Finite simple groups with two maximal subgroups of coprime orders

Group Theory 2023-08-08 v1

Abstract

In 1962, V.A. Belonogov proved that if a finite group GG contains two maximal subgroups of coprime orders, then either GG is one of known solvable groups or GG is simple. In this short note based on results by M. Liebeck and J. Saxl on odd order maximal subgroups in finite simple groups we determine possibilities for triples (G,H,M)(G,H,M), where GG is a finite nonabelian simple group, HH and MM are maximal subgroups of GG with (H,M)=1(|H|,|M|)=1.
